2006 House Bill 6606

Senate Roll Call 801: Passed

To allow the Kent County convention and tourism bureau, and potentially other counties as well, to levy a 2 percent hotel and motel rooms tax to support marketing and promotion programs. This would be on top of an existing 2 percent levy. A referendum of lodging providers would be required if requested by least 40 percent of the owners of "transient facilities" subject to the tax. Providers would have one vote for each room in their facility.
